Mr Mahmood, a dad-of-one, said windows had been smashed on his family’s vehicles previously. Thornaby Neighbourhood Police team later shared an appeal showing smashed windows to the Land Rover.

After the damage, a Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: “Two boys aged 16 and 17 have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and both have been released under investigation whilst inquiries continue.”
